Hailee Lowry is an elementary education major. She described a rocky relationship with math in the past: “I honestly used to be so bad at math so it made me hate it.” But as she explored fraction multiplication in her course and had the support of her professor, Dr. DiNapoli, she began to feel a new sense of confidence. So much so that she excitedly claimed,

I was honestly so confused but when he gave me little insights and extra help I understood the topic so well and got a 98 on my test. It was the best I have felt about math in a long time!

Keep up that excitement Hailee!
